Can a machine get any slower than this? 386/16, 8 meg ram, 320 meg ESDI drive. I've gotten past the evil of spare sectors, I've made the install program scan for bad blocks (of which there are 6)... but at some random interval into the install when copying from the network, I get the dreaded disk timeout failure which kills all. interrupt time out status 58<seekdone,drq> error 4<abort> interrupt time out status 58<seekdone,drq> error 1<no_dam> and then it all hangs. Is this the kernel not waiting quite long enough for this slow slow machine to return? In the past (though not recently) this machine successfully ran netbsd (and with only 4 meg of ram too) so I'd like to think that the hardware isn't damaged. -john
